I’m tracking on the Ford module and integrating the third brake light for predictive cruise and active braking assist.
I called RedArc and talked to them about the Tow Pro Elite and it’s use with my Lariat Trim Ranger. They broke it down and explained each aspect and ultimately it works on any...
After 2300 miles I’m still averaging just over 24 mpg (24.6) in my Tremor. It’s about a 50/50 city/highway mix. I commute about a 100 miles a day, it’s hilly and in the Southern end of the Rockies (5200-6800’). I don’t speed and I’ll admit I’m not accelerating hard, but I stay with traffic...
Nice ride! Sounds like you got a good deal too. The Tremor Ranger is such a good truck. In 2019 I had a rental that was a Ranger for 6 weeks. I beat the piss out of that truck, a true torture test. It just kept asking for more. Made the Tacoma I had at the time seem boring and slow. I wanted one...
For a normal, but slightly smaller TT the Apex Nano series campers are about as small of a frontal area as you can get and they are pretty light. I have a 208BH (3890 dry, TW is about 500 dry). It’s 24’11’’ hitch to tail. I measured the frontal area and it’s still 60 sq Ft. It’s got a good...
I read the review. Hmmmm… I’m biased, I have one, but my TRD OR 3rd gen couldn’t make it past the gateway obstacle at my favorite place to go wheeling. Basically made wheeling with my two boys relegated to other areas that any pick-up could go. It couldn’t tow well at all and the etune...
I’ll definitely do it again soon and I’ll keep all the nanny features off. Your right, I didn’t have any issues until I used the off road cruise control and terrain modes. I’ll give credit where it is due, they did do a pretty good job until I got those faults. I am still figuring things out...
Merry Christmas to all! I was out wheeling on the 24th, putting the Tremor through a good trail with the wife and kids. It’s probably the 5th time we’ve been out in it since I bought it in early December. It does great! The trails here in New Mexico are amazing and you can rock crawl, climb...
Dang, just about every angle has been covered. A minor add would be the aerodynamics of towing. You will get sucked towards large vehicles at speed. It’s a change in dynamic and static pressure (Bernoulli’s Principle). All you can do is anticipate it. My full size truck did it too and it can...
I love Roush stuff. It’s always nice and well put together. I think you did good! It’s great news for Ford and the Ranger that they are making these versions. Hennessey has one too that is very similar. I’d love to own either version. I’m looking forward to a YouTube video of you jumping it! ?
I just went through the same situation as the OP. I’ve owned a 2019 TRD OR Taco and almost got another one. The Ranger is so much better. I sold that Taco because I got a camper and that Trans/braking/engine set up is not good for towing. I have a 3800lb camper that I did the research on to be...
I’m brand new to ranger5g. Your Tremor looks great! I just bought a Cactus Grey Lariat Tremor myself. My first mod will be the FP tune, followed by a RedArc brake controller. I was a Taco man as well until I bought a camper and realized they don’t tow very well (payload was an issue). The...
